At least for all the common commands, yes. For Create / Delete SQ/CQ
I am not entirely sure how to best implement them yet as there are
valid arguments for keeping it entirely in the PCIe frontend or for
having them in common code, and we'll need to figure out which weight
more heavily.

I'd love to eventually find time to play with this code. Do you run
it on unrelease SiFive hard cores, or is there a bitstream for a common
FPGA platform available?-
